Proceeds from the charity auction will benefit a non-profit to create paths of opportunity into motorsports.
This week, a raft of Ken Block memorabilia curated by his family is up for auction on eBay motors. 43 pieces from the collection, ranging from the front fascia from Block’s 2015 Ford Fiesta RS World Rally Championship car to 2015 and 2016 custom Gymkhana race suits, a specialized mountain bike by Livery Artists and more, this is your chance to secure a piece of the legendary rally driver, DC Shoes and Hoonigan Industries founder’s legacy.
“Ken was passionate about motorsports, action sports, creative arts and giving back to those communities,” said Ken’s wife, Lucy Block. “Opening our archives for the first time with eBay Motors and sharing a piece of his career with fans is the perfect way to honor his legacy.”
The family founded 43 Institute in Ken’s honor, to help give those driven individuals aiming to get into motorsport the opportunity to do so through grants and access to a support structure he built over his decades-long career. All proceeds from this charity auction event will support that foundation.
Beyond the one-of-a-kind pieces that are going for more than $2,000 in some cases, the Ken Block Collection also includes limited-edition t-shirts, hoodies and a Racer X cover story poster signed by Ken Block and Travis Pastrana. Some other cool pieces like a Fifteen52 wheel from Gymkhana Ten and burnt clutch plates from Block’s Ford Mustang Hoonicorn V2 in Climbkhana: Pikes Peak are also up for sale.
The auction is live right now and will run through next Saturday, April 13. So, if you’re eyeing a particular piece, you have a little bit of time to decide — though the bidding looks like it will get fierce toward the end of the run, with some pieces already attracting dozens of bids.
